We are Back!!!! Chicago Show!
Well, I had a great time. It was awesome meeting some of the members!!!! I started looking at the pictures that I took and soon realized that I was having too much fun to take pictures....here are a few!
Chicago Motorcycle Show Pictures
We met up with Badass12 & wife, 12RPilot & wife, wfo12, MadMike and his girl for the weekend. Then we met Rickey Gadson, Doug from Muzzy, StusZx12rNinja, Viol8r, Wrenis, Wildman, Jessz1 and DShumers at the Show on Saturday!!!
First let me say that all the members (and the wives) that I met for the first time were cool as hell!!!! We had a great time. Then we met Rickey Gadson and Doug at the show. You talk about some awesome people!!!! Those two rank on the top in my book. Rickey was giving us drag racing tips and Doug was answering a bunch of questions as well!! Can't thank you two enough for the words of wisdom!!!! They both came over and hung out with us at the ZX12R @ 12:00pm....They must have chatted with us for almost an hour!!!!
We had about 28 people in our group and then the rest joined up with us at the hotel!!! We all went out Friday Night!!!! Our Group was a Little rowdy!!!!! Just a little!!!! 
I guess the only downfall of the whole weekend was that I kept loosing wfo12 (great guy)....He drove over 5 hours to meet all of us and we kept loosing each other....well, I guess the problem was finding each other!! So sorry wfo12!!! You'll have to come to MI and hang out with us when we are planning a road trip this summer!!!
I am sure that some more pictures will come from the other members soon!!!! We did not find dwb, mr. fast or slantzilla????
Thanks to all!!! I had a great weekend!!!

...one more question
...ok, one more question, Angie...is the set-up something that's available to the enthusiast/racer/walter-mitty to hook up to their bikes in their garage during the winter/rainy months...or is this a one-off by Kawasaki...imagine the fun at get togethers!...imagine the training!...imagine your R/T at your next race!...ok, somebody make this 'tool/toy' happen!

you can buy that set up but the controller is around 200 bucks and the actual Tree is around 550, so your looking at around 750 + shipping! I can get the info if anyone wants!

Image Station Sucks!
Damn..... I am Kawasaki green with envy!
Im stuck over here in Germany.... while you guys/gals are having all the fun! Image station is down quite often late at night, from what I can tell... couldn't get to your url. Ang... try out printroom... it rules! I guess I will try later. Can't wait for spring to come.

Nice pics Ang. There were only two of us to show up at Minnieapolis. Big ZX12R showed up at Hooters and rode his 12 in the Minnesota January cold. 23 deg that afternoon. Big salute to Zack.

I regret that I wasn't able to spend more time with you guys but the flu was still lingering a little. I still like the 2000-01 12 the best!! We will do some riding this summer.

Well, We had a great time at the show.
I took some photos, but they were film so it will take a few days before I get them developed and scanned.
I'll try to get them up later this week, if anything turned out. It's hard trying to get a good photo of Angi, she won't stand still.
I never really talked to Ricky Gadson (sp?), but he was gracious enough to be in a group photo with us and he seemed all right.
Doug Meyer was cool. Me and Wrenis went over to the Muzzy kiosk later and talked to Doug for quite a while. He was really nice, and very informative. Wrenis was planning to buy an Akropovic soon, now he's thinking about a Muzzy instead.
Oh, we even ran into Bart (BallisticZX12r, I think) as we were leaving. He seemed in good spirits, and there was no cast on that hand.
The Trials show was good, I'm always amazed by those (that) guy(s). Get there early for that, it is amazing the control that guy has of that little GasGas. I had a hard time getting photos of that, I couldn't get close enough to get any clear shots or to allow my little flash to work. (I didn't want to carry the bigger flash around the show all day).
One of the prettiest girls I've ever seen tried really hard to talk me into buying a couple of those crash and burn type videos (I don't remember the actual name), I didn't want to spend the money, but I bet she makes a lot of sales. She was, ummmmm, very persuasive. It was hard to say no.
There was a lot more gear and stuff for sale than I remember at the St. Louis show we went to 2 years ago. I guess it's because all the metro Chicago dealers were there. I could have spent a lot of money. There were more Vanson jackets than I've seen in my whole life before.
Well, It was worth the drive and worth the money, we had fun.

Scooter,
Sounds like there were quite a few people from the board at the Chicago show, too bad we didn't have that many people to get Rowdy with in Minneapolis! Good to see the pic your wife took, and it was FRICKEN COLD AS HELL on the way home that night but well worth the fun. I Hope to meet up at that summer event in WI like we talked about! Summers a coming!

Good try....
but you ended up lookin' more "matronly". You kinda look like someone who would turn me down... for a bank loan! Just kiddin'! It's not like I'm worried about kzz1 kickin' my ass or anything like that. It's YOU that I worry about kickin' my ass!
